Every workplace food program has the same challenge: demand changes every day and forecasting becomes complex.
At Sifted, we believe the answer isn't simply making more or less food, it's building smarter systems that balance exceptional employee experiences with responsible operations.
That's why we're proud to share an important milestone:
Together with our clients and food recovery partners,
we've helped recover and donate more than $7 million worth of meals.
Workplace dining without unnecessary waste
Our culinary and operations teams work every day to forecast participation as accurately as possible. Better forecasting means fresher meals, happier employees, and less excess food.
Even with sophisticated planning, some surplus is inevitable.
Rather than letting quality food go unused, Sifted partners with local food recovery organizations across our markets to redirect eligible meals to people in need whenever possible.
This approach supports local communities while helping our clients operate more sustainably.
A better system
Reducing food waste doesn't happen through a single initiative. It comes from hundreds of operational decisions made every day.
Our teams continuously improve:
- Participation forecasting
- Menu planning
- Production planning
- Portion management
- Daily operational reporting
- Food recovery coordination
These systems help clients deliver an exceptional dining experience while minimizing unnecessary waste.
A shared achievement
This milestone belongs to every client, chef, kitchen team, onsite manager, delivery driver, and food recovery partner who has contributed over the years.
Together, we've shown that workplace dining can deliver remarkable employee experiences while making a meaningful impact in the communities where we operate.
